It’s estimated that 50% of children in the UK now have an allergic condition and between 6 and 8% of children also have a food allergy, so it is essential to be prepared for this in your setting.

This on-demand online course is designed for anyone who cares for children so is ideal for those who work in schools, as well as parents, guardians, youth workers, and childminders. It offers practical guidance on allergy management and explains how to offer comprehensive support to children with allergies.

It explains how allergies are triggered, what to look out for with allergic reactions, and how to monitor and treat children with allergies. It covers allergens, preventative measures, what to do in emergencies and cases of anaphylaxis, and it discusses both the practical and emotional support a child may need on a daily basis.

Learning outcomes:

• Learn the step-by-step emergency procedure in response to an anaphylactic shock
